Kokanee Crankworx Starts This weekend

Share

Cranky (not Krankie, see note below) kicks off in Whistler this weekend for a week of gravity hoopla.

Big Ron and Big Job will be filming it all for DirtTV, while Dirt columist Seb Kemp will hopefully be sending in daily updates of what’s going on in Whistler. So stay tuned for all the action and satisfaction.

2009 KOKANEE CRANKWORX TWO DAYS AWAY FROM WELCOMING THE WORLD
Thursday, August 6, 2009

Kokanee Crankworx as an unofficial test event
” Kokanee Crankworx is a massive sporting festival and is another great opportunity for Whistler to test its ability to host a major event
” The Monster Energy Slopestyle drew over 20,000 spectators to the base of Whistler Mountain last year and on August 15, Whistler Blackcomb anticipates at least that many again.

Is the threat of wildfire a concern for Kokanee Crankworx?
” At this point there is no concern for wildfires to impact Kokanee Crankworx
” Wildfires on Blackcomb Mountain in the last week have been quickly managed by the Ministry of Forests and Range, the Whistler Fire Department and Whistler Blackcomb staff.

Just to make it clear, the festival is “Crankworx”…nothing to do with 80’s Scottish childrens combo “The Krankies”, when you hear people talking about “Kranky” they mean “Crankworx”, not “The Krankies” okay?
